For the last issue of their openSUSE release series, Novell Open Audio has talked to Marcus Meißner, team lead of the SUSE security team, to learn about the processes triggered by a security incidence, proactive source code audits, teaching developers how to write more secure software and AppArmor.
How long must we wait OpenOffice’s Suse-packets’s security-update to 2.3-version?
OO.o-version find but OpenSuse-version not.
sorry my ‘english’ - I hope you understand my queston
What vulnerability and distro version are you talking about? There was an OOo online update only two days ago.

That was fixed with mentioned online update two days ago. Do your homework/update before accusing.
looking at the stable repository now, there has not been an update to opensuse’s openoffice since the 10th october, it could be stable that Jake is using therefore he has not have an update to it yet. The unstable version has just had an update, but not the stable version?
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10.3/i586/
[DIR] Parent Directory -
[ ] OpenOffice_org-2.3.0.1.2-4.1.i586.rpm 10-Oct-2007 03:51 66M
I don’t think that Jake talked about Build Service repositories at all. The update is in the distro update repository of course.
…it will be fixed twice… or?
http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.3.1.html
hsql1808
upgrading hsqldb to latest release 1.8.0.9

Beineri, it’s obvious he is, should ask him next time before you accuse him of not doing his homework or accusing people.
After his last post I could have told that too, but all his previous posts didn’t mention Build Service repository and left the impression of an unsecure distribution.
